What? You want to hear my story? Well, I promise itsnotnearly as entertaining as one of my interviews(gets nudged in the sidebyRhiannon)hehehe. Well, like I mean to say, it's not very entertainingbut ifyou really want to hear, well, I don't mind telling.

What are you talking about? You love to talk tohearyourself. ( At this Pendragon blushes a little bit) I'm just kiddingdear.What would you like to know?

The interview straightens his glasses a little bit before saying

Everything. Tell me anything and everything thatyou arewilling to share about the Modern Day Warrior.

Pendragon sits in his leisure chair in the middle of his living room. Theinterview sits in the chair directly across from him with his legscrossed.Rhiannon is leaning over the back of Pendragon's chair, but only for her fewwords. With a look from Pendragon she quickly, well as quickly as apregnantwoman can be, makes her way to the kitchen to fetch 3 cool drinks forthethree of them.

Well I was born on May 8, 1970. My father, RegentPendragonmarried my mother Aspen only months before I was conceived. Both mymotherand father raised me until my middle school years. When I started 6thGrade,I was not the Modern Day Warrior as you see today, as is to beexpected. Wehad moved multiple times since my birth. My father constantly tryingto dobetter for his family, than he previously had. So when I started sixthgrade,I had lived in our current home for only a year, and I wasn't wellreceived bythe neighborhood kids. In the matter of one year I went from an "A"studentto barely managing a "D". I was in constant fear of being beat upafter-school and I was an emotional wreck.

Nathaniel is still a little bit troubled by thisperiod ofhis life, and in retrospect, he never tells the story his parents had toendure. Everyday, their only boy would come running home from school.Sometime his face was blue because he had ran so far so fast, sometimeshe wasblack and blue from the bullies beating him up. Sometimes he wascrying sohard that he couldn't stop. His parents offered all the help theycould thinkof, police intervention, talking to the other boy's parents and so on. Butafter speaking with the school principle, it was revealed that theother boys'parents just didn't care. And that Police intervention was determinedto be agreat "bad" idea as it would only cause the other kids, and theirparents, toget more brutal. It truly seemed that Nathaniel had to deal with allthis onhis own.

And I did. The only problem was that I was a scrawnylittlekid, no meat on my bones, and since my father was away working all thetime,and I was raised as was my mother& a pacifist. Now I have no problemwiththat belief system. To each their own. But I firmly believe, nowanyway,that Pacifism is the absolute worst belief to teach a child. Without aguiding light for a father, I was taught the proper balance fordefendingones self. I went through a horrible period, where I developed facialticksdue to the nerve and chemical imbalance caused by each day's episode. It tookyears for me to overcome the emotion and physical scarring that thoseguysleft. But overcome I did. I managed to get out with my life, but itwasn'tuntil I was a sophomore in High School that we moved this time. But inthetime period I was there I managed to gain the rank of "Biggest NerdEver".

Nathaniel has always been one to make fun of his own circumstance, but he cant accurately describe the pain of those days. But itwas that time in his life that formed him into who he is today. Duringthatperiod of his life he had no friends. No girl would give this hunk ofminethe time of day simply because even if they thought him nice, or cute,theydidn't want to lose their "rep". High School, one time in my life thatI amglad I am through with.

Now it wasn't all bad, because it was during that timein mylife that I re-discovered the joy of reading. I loved my comic booksand thenI picked up a few books about King Arthur. I was so overjoyed that Istartedto want to be like him, King, strong, taking no shit from anyone andthat'swhen I got into genealogy. I was able to trace my ancestry back tothat timeperiod and I was shocked at what I found. Although the stories of KingArthurwere believed to be based on fact, most people thought that the entirethingwas fiction. I discovered ties to royalty during that time period. Ican'tremember the names exactly but the castles believed to be Camelot, andTintagel, and uh Lancelot's Castle have been put to place. I discovered thisand traced lineage. I am a direct descendant of a Feudal King by thename ofArthur. Believed to be the one true King Arthur. There are diaries reachingback, not quite that far, but close to it where others of my lineagemake theclaim that they are related to the timeless Arthur. I then put myselfon my journey, as all squires used to do, over time I passed such tests ofmentaland physical and spiritual stress and since there were none to pass thetorchto me, I assumed the position of Knight. After much studying, Iattained thatwhich I believe the rank of Paladin. I could explain further, but Iam sureit would bore you.

Nathan, get back to your sophomore year&

Oh, yea. Well I went to a new school and my mind setwas oneof "All or Nothing" It was during my first public dance that I made mypresence known by out dancing most there. From there my popularitygrew untilI regained my self-confidence and I finally graduated a healed andhappy man.But my best year was my senior year, that was when I metRhiannon.

She Blushes.We were married close to 2 years after we met. And Iwent to college. I graduated with a degree in teaching history, and a minor inlaw.From there I decided to go into bodybuilding and from there I wasrecruitedinto the CNWF. I adopted my family moniker of Pendragon and there Ibegan,along with Iron Will, the group known today as the Knights of theRound. Fromthere I went to the organization known as the AEA and today I am herein theDWO. End of story I guess.

Quite impressive. I am sure the fans and theirfamiliesalike will enjoy your tale. Thanks for sharing with metonight.

Thanks for asking. Its nice to know not only thatsomeonecares, but that someone is interested.

With that said the men finish up their evening and Rhiannon goes aboutcleaning up. The scene fades with a smile from the lips of Pendragon.
